Two long, straight wires both carry current to the right, are parallel, and are 25 cm apart. Wire one carries a current of 2.0 A

and wire two carries a current of 5.0 A. How far from wire 1 is the net magnetic field equal to 0?

Answer:

x = 7.14 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current in wire 1, I_1=2\ A

Current in wire 2, I_2=5\ A  

Distance between parallel wires, r = 25 cm

Let at P point the net magnetic field equal to 0. The magnetic field at a point midway between the is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

Let the distance is x from wire 1. So,

\dfrac{I_1}{r}=\dfrac{I_2}{(0.25-r)}

\dfrac{2}{r}=\dfrac{5}{(25-r)}

x=\dfrac{50}{7}\ m

x = 7.14 meters

So, the magnetic field will be 0 at a distance of 7.14 meters from wire 1. Hence, this is the required solution.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

Describe and compare the rings of Saturn and Uranus, including their possible origins.
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Okay, well, Saturn's rings form a wide and complex system, consisting mostly of particles and pieces of ice, and are highly visible. They may have formed from one or more moons that broke up due to a collision, or are left over from early debris that never coalesced into a moon... And, The rings of Uranus are thin and hard to see, consisting mostly of chunks of carbon and hydrocarbons with very little reflectivity. They may also have formed from the breakup of a small moon due to a collision. They may be kept thin by the presence of shepherd moons.

Hope I helped !

What happens to molecules when their kinetic energy decreases?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The speed of molecule decreases and temperature also decreases

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the molecules of a subsance is directly proportional to the temperature of molecule So as the kinetic energy decrease, temperature also decreases. decreses their speed.

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m
